''Reisai yawa'' is a collection of Chinese poetry and commentary on those poems compiled by the Chinese [[Zen|Chan]] monk [[Juefan Huihong]]. A 14th century woodblock-printed copy in the collection of the University of London SOAS Library is the oldest printed book in that library (across not only Japanese materials, but all materials). It is known as a ''Gozan-bon'' (lit. "Five Mountains Book") edition, as its publication was sponsored or supported by the [[Kamakura Gozan|five chief Zen temples of Kamakura]]. It was probably printed from blocks made from a copy of the text produced in [[Yuan dynasty]] China.
